Hi Edoardo, My name is Toni and I live in Poland. I am 12 years old and I am fascinated by your rc sailing boat. I watched your series about sailing boat building many times. I liked it so much that I decided to build one similar to yours. I don't have much experience in CAD design, so I was wondering if you could share the plans of your latest yacht with me somehow. I would make some changes to simplify it to my abilities. Of course I 'll fornhelp from my dad and granddad. Let me know your thoughts. I hope to hear from you soon. Toni
Ciao complimenti!!! Posso chiederti come mai questo manico resta molto più lungo dei manici tradizionali da chitarra elettrica che si avvitano al body?
Hi Edoardo, beautiful job with you boat! Wondering whether you would be willing to share diagrams of your sheeting for all 3 sails. I am building a model IMOCA 60 but struggling to work out how to set up the sheeting, particularly foe the furling gennaker.
Chiedo scusa se la mia domanda può sembrare provocatoria ma io verrei solo capire... Il motore passo passo con il suo driver costa 470 euro. Ma... a me sembra una cifra enorme, improponibile! Inoltre ne servirebbero tre di motori, uno per ogni asse (sbaglio?)... La domanda è questa: Non si può adottare un motore a minor potenza e prezzo ma demoltiplicato? Forse la tavola a croce sarebbe più lenta ma si potrebbe sperare di non spendere un capitale per movimentare il tutto. Sbaglio?
Certo si potrebbe, ma non mi risulta che esistano motori step o servo demoltiplicati, che costino anche meno. I motori che ho montato sono appena sufficienti per la movimentazione di queste masse
Quite a great model. And ... quite a good workshop. The boat seems to work better the closer to the wind but not so well for following. A few questions .. The boom looks not to be able for opening enough. A design specification ? Or something to be adjusted ? May we know how the Gennaker furling device works? Anyway ... impressive work. Congratulations.👍👍👍
Hi, thanks you very much! The boom actually opens untill the back stays, quite enough for downwind sailing. You can see from the 3D model how the gennaker system works, it is all hidden inside the hull and there are two servo motors: one for the furler and one for the sheet. you can find the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9V-XUUQgVXg.html thanks again
You are right, I opted for a t foil mainly to not modify the hull and follow a moth style. I made now some modifications and I’ll do more tests in April, and I’ll try to make a good video about it… so stay tuned😉
Molto figo! Dove trovate i materiali ragazzi? mi sto cominciando a divertirmi con tornio e fresa e trovare il row material mi sembra la cosa più difficile per assurdo!
Edoardo, Did you build from scratch? I am very interested in doing the same and was hoping you might point me in the right direction to be able to get plans?
ciao Edoardo, ho visto i video di conversione della tua Orion 4.5, posso chiederti quale programma usi per comandarla? Nel caso serve una preparazione adeguata per poterla usare, oppure il programma è di facile comprensione anche per un non esperto?
Ciao! Ho usato Mach 3, l’ho imparato su due altre cnc che avevo, ma non è molto complesso, online si trova qualche spiegazione ma di molti anni fa e abbastanza fatte male, quindi ci vorrà un po’ di tempo passato a smanettare… Non avevo una particolare preparazione prima di iniziare, quindi direi che ce la può fare chiunque!
Yes I’ll do it for sure!! I have to make more tests just to take a longer flight video, will take a few months because I’m now studying abroad… but if you’re patient I’ll try to make a good video out of this project!
Absolutly fantastic build! I need to learn to draw in cad so i can make my own boat, what cad program are you using? Or rather, do you have any recomendation as to wich program i should learn? 😅
@@EdoardoChisale thank you! Rhinoceros sadly is a bit too steep for my budget right now, concidering material cost, tools and electronics. Maybe i can get my wife to apply for a student copy, even tho she is studdying international politics and not engieneering ^^
@@EdoardoChisale you've done a great job with that boat. I used to build radio controlled yachts about 20 years ago, mostly out of fibreglass/carbon. It's a difficult art to get right, your workmanship is top notch.
That's interesting. I use Fusion 360, but I haven't used Rhino - is that what you used to calculate the centres of bouancy? If so, I think I need to learn how to use that too!
@@PhDTKM yes you can use rhino to compute the center of buoyancy, also with fusion, because it computes the centroid of volume of a solid volume. But to calculate it I used a specific program called freeship, that gives you the center varying the depth, and so you can also calculate the weight of your ship with a desired waterline.
